I recently posted a reference to TechShop in another thread and it occurred to me that other people here that might not have read that thread would be interested.

Basically, it's a membership-based fully stocked workshop. They have things from power drills to bandsaws to plasma cutters to CNC millers to soldering irons to rapid prototyping machines.

There are only a few open right now, but they're working on more, and the one going to be near me just sent out an email in regards to their charter membership promotion.

It's a very cool idea and worth checking out if you're at all interested in making things.
